NewSpring Church Blog

They were taking pictures and video of every single nook and cranny of our campus here in Greenville and asking plenty of questions during the early Unleash registration on Wednesday. We saw more than 100 people from all over, such as Florida, Oklahoma and North Carolina. Staff and volunteers showed what we have to offer from KidSpring to the technology in our auditorium.  Not only did we see churches, but some techies from Oklahoma City were here to check out what’s going on. If you missed Unleash this year, make sure you’re here in 2010!

A little snow storm can’t stop NewSpring from worshiping!
As about four inches of snow fell during the 6 p.m. service, several NewSpringers rocked the house and heard Perry’s powerful series “I Want a New Marriage.” Perry was pumped that people still made it to the Greenville service!
Volunteers, 77 of them in fact, braved the roads to come and serve. And they gave out coffee and met guests with umbrellas.
Catherine Powell, volunteer director, says some of them are just nuts – joking around of course. “Volunteers are completely on board with having people come to hear about Jesus,” she says. “It shows they care more about others than themselves.”
Although Fuse was canceled, many still came to show their support. And the band was ready to tear it up on the stage. One couple even watched the web campus and drove to the 6 p.m. service to get their rose and renew their vows.
When it was over, everyone helped each other get out of the parking lot, from scraping windows to directing traffic, so they could get back on the road to head home. We know many of you couldn’t drive due to worsening conditions, but what a wonderful testament to the church and its members who could make it out in the weather no matter what!

We had over 1700 people between the two services which, in case you missed it, is absolutely indescribably incredible.

Perry says, “NewSpring…today was one of the best days in the history of our church…I’m amazed that He is allowing me to be a part of this. I am loving this journey He has called me to take with you.” Church, it’s literally just the beginning!

Thanks to Wayne Richardson for the great photos of our Greenville Campus opening. We keep trying to tell you, there are so many ways to volunteer at NewSpring.
